OFFICIAL CORRUPTION.
Quebecs New Premier Makes Startling Dis.
coyeries.

Excitement Is intense over the revela-
ton which Premier MERCER has made in
regard to the corruption which was car
ried on by the late Quebec government.
The full extent of the plundering perpe-
trated will not be known until parlia-
mentary investigation is held. The apart
ments of the late speaker, which were
deliberately furnished out of the treasury,
have been completely stripped. Valuable
plate and furnishings are missing and are
known to have been carried off by the
boodlers. On taking hold of the treasury
chest Mr. Mercier found it empty. Not
one cent was there to the credit Of
the government. Worse than that, Sir
John Macdonald has advanced the defunct
government over $500,00 out of the do
minion treasury, which was charged
against the province, all of which went
into the general corruption fund. In add
ton TO this the province has been run
heavily into debt and large amounts of
outstanding claims remain to be paid and
there is nothing with which to pay them.
Premier MERCER has issued circular to
officials in all branches of the public SER
vice to balance their books and report at
once with an inventory of all property in
their hands. Developments are anxiously
looked for.

The bill provides for the establishment Of

shall be entitled to delegate in the ma

elected by the qualified voters of the terri

to wear the blandest OF smiles.

$5O1, 763 33, and none Of 1t has been paid:
She will get that amount should the bill
become a law, and the knowing ones say
that there Is no doubt about the matter.
The military committee of the house had
"fleld day" the other night, and the
calendar was nearly cleared of bills
upon which that committee has
made favorable reports. Gen. Cutche-
on OF Michigan, a member OF
the committee, secured the passage of
several bills of which he was the author,o or
upon which he made favorable reports.
The most important perhaps Of them, was
